  • Light Movement 13: Colour Spaces

    By on

    Light Movement returns to Spektrum this month, and in more ways than one! Colour Spaces presents a collection of films in which colour is a key factor, either in forming the works concept, its formal structure, its depiction of space, or simply an atmosphere. This screening groups together a wide range of works by some incredible filmmakers and artists, all using colour in ways unique to their respective practices.

  • Xcèntric: El cine de Marjorie Keller

    By on

    Esta sesión presenta dos de las películas más importantes de Marjorie Keller, Misconception y Daughters of Chaos, meditaciones personales sobre la experiencia femenina, lo íntimo y lo cotidiano, construidas a partir de filmaciones domésticas sobre las que se aplican complejas experimentaciones en el montaje y la correspondencia entre la imagen y el sonido.

    Marjorie Keller falleció prematuramente en 1994 a los 43 años, dejando tras de sí más de 25 películas en 8 mm y 16 mm y una serie de textos críticos sobre el cine que le interesaba, como un libro sobre la infancia en la obra de Brakhage, Cocteau y Cornell y una investigación inacabada sobre el cine experimental hecho por mujeres, desde pioneras como Germaine Dulac, Maya Deren y Carolee Schneemann hasta la joven generación de sus contemporáneas representada por Peggy Ahwesh, Su Friedrich o Leslie Thornton.

  • Turbidus Film #12: Dragonflies with Birds and Snake

    By on

    Wolfgang Lehmann's Dragonflies with Birds and Snake is a powerfully vibrant film based on zoological and educational footage of insects, birds, and amphibians. The structural montage of the film, with small repititive variations and flicker effects, creating its own spatial and temporal essence.

    ”A menagerie of semiotic editing techniques employed during this exercise allows the marshy world of the dragonfly to unfold before us: dragonfly larvae hatch, whilst mere frames later, a bird slowly devours an adult specimen. We see bird and prey gradually merge forms, holding a constant value of image as all other areas of the frame flicker between positive and negative image, blue sky or green grass.”

  • Peter Gidal: Flare Out

    By on

    A screening of four films by Peter Gidal to celebrate the publication of “Flare Out: Aesthetics 1966–2016”, a collection of his essays on film, art and aesthetics. Gidal was a central figure during the formative years of the London Film-Makers’ Co-op and made some its most radical works. His cinema is anti-narrative, against representation and fiercely materialist, and his writings are similarly polemical and unique. This programme of films from the 1960s to the present includes his most recent work, and will be introduced by Mark Webber and Peter Gidal.

  • Xcèntric: Ciertas observaciones

    By on

    Como si se tratara de un observatorio científico, esta sesión reúne un conjunto de películas experimentales que intentan captar las formas efímeras, las variaciones de la apariencia de las cosas, la modulación de la luz y las transformaciones del color en el paisaje.

    A través de distintas técnicas de filmación (planos fijos, time lapse o filtros) y diversos tratamientos del film en el laboratorio (solarizaciones, tintados, virados o sobreimpresiones), las imágenes se vuelven ilusiones ópticas del mundo natural, lienzos en movimiento que se transfiguran y adquieren una gran plasticidad.

  • DIM Cinema: Eadweard Muybridge, Zoopraxographer

    By on

    Thom Andersen’s extraordinary meditation on the nature of vision, a project that began as a UCLA film thesis for which the aspiring filmmaker re-photographed thousands of Muybridge images, is “at once a biography of Muybridge, a re-animation of his historic sequential photographs, and an inspired examination of their philosophical implications…The ‘zoopraxography’ of the title speaks to both Muybridge’s practice of motion study — as distinct from photography — and his 1879 device, which enabled the images’ projection.
